CHICAGO'S BOoDLERS.
Unexpected Presence of a Witness
They Feared.

CHICAGO, May 25.-The jury for the trial
of the doodle" county officials was com
pleted to-day and the trial was begun The
introduction of the first witness for the
State caused sensation in the
court room. The witness was
Nick Schneider, a contractor, who
has been missing ever since the ''boodlen in
vestlgatlon began, many weeks ago. He has
been under arrest all the time, and after
being induced, by some mysterious means,
to turn informer, has been, under a detec-
tive's care, on tour of the South and East
to keep him out of the reach of the defend
ants
HOW THE DOODLE GANG MANAGED.
On the stand Schneider was prompt and
direct in his testimony. He related how
Engineer Mcdonald, of the county hospital,
had told him that other contractors were
getting work at the institution by paying
30 per cent. of the proceeds to those
who helped in obtaining the job. Schneider
replied he would do whatever the Others
we're doing. Mcdonald said 40 per cent.
would be necessary, as the warden, Nc
Garigle, would have to be squared" be-
sides several commissioners.
ONLY 40 PER CENT. PROFIT.
An agreement was reached on about that
basis, Schneider to do all work and pay all
the expenses, sharing the net proceeds
equally between himself, McGarigle and
Mcdonald Ten of Schneider's bills went
through the County Board. The first one.
for 81, 500 was paid before a particle of
work had been done. While Schneider
was testifying a scene was caused
by an apparent attempt ON the part of NJ.
c. Mcdonald, q noted politician and ex-
gambler, to catch the informer's eye. NJ. c.
Mcdonald is a brother of the defendant
engineer, and Schneider showed signs of
being Disconnected. States Attorney Grin
nell leaned forward to Mcdonald and
quietly warned him to desist or he would
be publicly denounced and elected from the
court. Mcdonald replied defiantly, but
soon left the room. Schneider's exanina-
tion will be continued tomorrow.

GEoRGIA's CAPITAL CITY.
Moonshiners Broken Up-Convicts to
be Pardoned,

ATLANTA, May %. - Special Revenue
Agent Colquitt, Deputy Collector Harris
and Deputy Marshals Mcdonald and John
son left the city at o'clock last night by
private conveyance for Campbell county.
They had received information that a block
ade distillery was in operation near Ben
Hill post office, near the Fulton county
line. They reached the distillery about
midnight and found the stillers had Just
left. There was fire i'll the furnace and
everything in position for making rum.
After looking the ground over the officers
separated and concealing themselves, lay in
wait until morning. About $50 O'clock
two men were seen approaching the distil-
lery, but before they got to it they evidently
discovered the officers and took to their heels.
The officers gave pursuit, but the moon
sinners had too much the start and effected
their escape. The distillery was broken up,
the tubs and fermenters burned, 200 gal
Ions of beer and mash destroyed and q sixty
gallon copper still cap and worm and eight
gallons of whisky seized and brought out.
The distillery was located within two miles
of where John Brown was killed about "a
year ago, and since that occurrence many
threats have been made that the revenue
officers would receive very hot reception
should they visit the locality again.
The Comptroller General has issued a.
ia. against j. A. Robson, Tax Collector of
Washington county, for an unpaid balance
of s., ,52l so on the taxes of 1886. The sure
ties of the county bond of the Collector have
also applied to be relieved from future lia-
bility for 1887, alleging malpractice in Office
and that he is a defaulter to the State as
their grounds for relief. The bondsnen
have paid up the present shortage.
